EP. 66 - You Just Ran A Marathon… Now What? How to Train in the "Off-Season"

Whether you recently ran a race or have a Fall race on the calendar, many athletes enter the summer months in an ‘in-between’ place of training.

Follow the most appropriate training plan for your unique goals. Place parameters on your training that provide a framework for growth as an athlete. Allow yourself to embrace an off-season to strengthen weaknesses, develop habits, and explore different styles of training that contribute to your overall abilities as an athlete.  New releases of the Elevate Your Running podcast every Thursday!
